Homeowners Build Wealth!

This topic can not be addressed enough because it is so important.

Homeowners build wealth through independence, equity in their property and tax advantages.

Freedom and independence are an obvious advantage that comes with the ability to make the home your own. You can personalize it by adding, modifying and decorating in ways not allowed in rentals. Owning your own home provides stability and can boost your creditablity.
Build Equity when you pay a mortgage. You are adding to the equity and in a sense saving for the future when you make your mortgage payments. Where you have no control over rents increasing, your principal and interest on your mortgage will remain the same as long as you don't make changes to your loan. According to the National Association of REALTORS®, a typical homeowners net worth is 49% greater than a typical renters.
The tax advantages are substantial. Property taxes and mortgage interest are both deductible from you annual income tax.
Homes appreciate in value delivering a great return on your invested capital. In the time period between 2004 and 2010 Austin home prices rose 23 percent. Just in the year 2013 home prices rose 8 percent over the previous year according to the Austin Board of REALTORS. Few investments can deliver that kind of a return.

If you are considering moving to Austin, I can help you with the transition. Call my office to schedule a time to talk - 512-589-7988.

Successful Home Transactions in the Austin Area

Many thanks to my latest clients for choosing me as their REALTOR.

 Tony and Viola relocated from the Dallas area to Cedar Park, Texas. We found just the right house with a living area large enough for their entertainment center and a beautiful backyard for entertaining.

"Very professional. Does what she says she will do."- Tony.

Marcus and Holly were looking for a duplex in Austin, Texas in which they could live and hold the other side as investment property. This duplex was a perfect fit.

"Robin was very patient and kind with my wife and I. We began the home buying process well over a year ago. Robin stuck by our sides and was instrumental in us purchasing our first home. Through all of the hurdles she was able to give us advice and keep us moving forward. Thanks to Robin we are now first time homeowners. We highly recommend her!"  - Marcus

Repeat clients Steve and Mandy selected and purchased a lot in their neighborhood in Crystal Falls in Leander, Texas for which they hired me to negotiate the purchase. Now to build the house.
